I just want to apologize to Freya, because I just went back and read what I wrote, and it may have sounded a bit over-the-top. I guess it's frustrating for me, because I've been a bird guardian my whole life, and I know what it takes to raise a happy, healthy pet.

Birds aren't low maintenance animals. Parrots in general are needy, loud, require attention and stimulation, not to mention they're messy as hell. People think that because it's a pretty bird in a cage, it'll just sit there and look good. They don't consider the time and attention these misunderstood creatures require.
If the bird isn't fed a careful diet, exercised, supervised, given love and attention for several hours a day, it will develop psychological and behavioral problems. Feather plucking, screaming, pacing and biting are just a few to name. It is really a sad situation. As Cambion mentioned above, Avian vets are hard to find, and they are much more expensive. Ignorant people buy these birds and aren't willing to put forth the effort and money they require. As a result, exotic bird rescue societies are popping up all over the place. Many of the birds can't be rehomed, because they're so psychologically damaged. It's absolutely heartbreaking.
